Morning Rani!

Did you swing by to check out your most Scandinavian car so far yet?

no, I have been neglecting it :realcrazy:

main reason is because I am putting all my effort and car time to my dad's car because if I finish it by a deadline ...he is going to buy the paint for one of my cars and plus I get to drive his car anytime that I am finishing now.

Its actually kinda nice to finish a car that someone else is funding because there are no dead ends, he keeps putting parts and materials in my hands and I just do a lot of sanding, welding and painting. (plus I don't over think options or colors ...everything is already pre-determined as far as color and options)

So far the tail panel was crunched in so I have the old one cut out and the new AMD re-pop unit ready to go in. ( I need to prep the flanges and start plug welding)

It is also going to need an inner fender replaced and a part of the firewall patched because it was a race car and they cut the firewall up for some odd reason that is still unknown to me.

Very nice indeed... For some reason I thought dad's ride was a Barracuda...

he does have a 69 cuda but that is a rainy day project ...LOL

this is a 71 demon he picked up a couple years ago. Very rust free car but almost every panel has a big dent or two ....or three or four.

It also has like 5 or 6 paint jobs on it which took me awhile to get a lot of the stripping done

I hate to say this, but you dad's rear end looks great. You're doing good work on Dad's rear end.

Oh don't tell me, Hoppy has been using a link to the original posting of the furry Ben photo instead of his own copy of the image? :BangHead:

I just knew that bookmark feature was gonna bite me somehow...

I don't know - but bookmarking then trying to repost a deleted post nets you an error page - I think he probably saved a copy for himself
